mare.? Good thing too.? On the other hand, when my kids started
riding, they always wanted to know why I wouldn't allow them to do stuff.?
Answer, cause I was your age once and did it and know how dangerous it
is.
Another memory.? I was riding in the Cleveland
Metro park with my 2 friends.? I was in my 30s.? We were galloping
along when my 2 friends turned around and said "run, that guy is exposing
himself!"? Now I am very nearsighted and was wearing my glasses which were
probably way down on my nose.? I remember seeing the guy but nothing
else..? Damn!? What did I miss?? At any rate, I asked them why we
just didn't keep going past him and they replied, "what if he had a gun?'?
My answer, "I don't think he could have hit a moving target and he was pretty
incapacitated if his pants were around his ankles!"?
